It’s been much too long, after all.
“Here you are.”
All These Words I Never Said

"I want you to know that if you want to talk, ever, about anything, I'd be happy to listen." He smiles at her, quickly, sweetly. "Goodnight."
"How about now?" It's a bit too urgent, a bit too much of everything and she bites her tongue as the words leave her mouth.
It’s All Yours

She stops then, reaches for his arm to turn him around to face her.
There's silence, and a soft smile, and something unspoken in the space between them, something like you already know the answer, something like I'm tired of waiting and aren't you, something heavy.
"Let's keep walking, Lizzie. We're almost there," he says and takes a few steps before she follows him.

“You’re going to make me spell it out for you?”
“Oh absolutely, angel. Absolutely.”
“There’s really not much more to it. I called you nice and you…pushed me against the wall. Our noses touched briefly, but that’s besides the point really, that’s—“
“And you think about that often? Me pushing you against a wall and our noses touching?”
If The Choice Were Mine To Make

"Why did you leave earlier, Lizzie?"
He doesn’t waste a second.
“It’s complicated.”
"Try me."
She doesn't know where to begin.

To Build A Home
ao3 // in progress, chapter I-X (updated December 29)
“The little girl’s face lights up every time he looks at her. Every time her small hand encircles one of his fingers, all the burdens are lifted from his shoulders and he glows. She’ll never tire of the sight. It’s the most beautiful thing she’s ever seen.”

ao3 // in progress, chapter I
"I couldn't face you when you woke up. I wasn't sure what I wanted to say to you."
"How about now? What would you like to say to me now?"

But The Heart Has Its Own Memory
ao3 // in progress, chapter I-X (updated August 7)
“I wanted to see you.”
“And why is that?”
“I missed your company, Lizzie. No ulterior motives.”
The coffee arrives just in time, sparing her an honest response. She’s not brave enough to tell him yet, how impatiently she waited for his calls, his messages, how she had hoped every day that he would be waiting for her at the Post Office or even in the lobby of her building.
